IMPROVEMENT IN NECK-TIE FASTENINGS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 161,378, dated March30, 1875; applicationfiled February 5, 1875.

T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, EMILE BERLINER, of thecity, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Neck-Tie Fastenings, of which the following is aspecification:

My invention is an improvement in the class of neck-tie fasteniugs whichconsist of a metallic or wire loop, adapted to fit upon the neck orshank of a collar-button, and thus suspend the tie proper therefrom.

The improvement relates to constructing the loop to adapt it forattachment to the tie, as hereinafter fully described.

Figure l is an inside view of the neck-tie frame or support, showing theloop and cord attached thereto. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of thesame, showing the neck-tie.

A is the frame of the neck-tie. B is the loop, and G is the elastic cordby which the loop is attached to the frame. The loop B is made of asingle piece of wire, having its ends curved in opposite directions,upward and outward from the point of contact at D, and formed into aneye, as shown.

The form of the hooks f and the eyes 6 on the ends thereof, inconjunction with the pear shape of the body g of the loop B, renders theattachment of the elastic cord 0 a secure one, while permitting the cordto be conveniently and quickly connected and disconnected, as occasionrequires. The contracted or angular top portion h of the loop B adaptsit to properly fit the shank of the collar-button.

What I claim is A neck-tie shield provided with the loop B, havingU-shaped portions ff, with eyes 0 e, and attaching-cord G, constructed.and arranged to operate substantially as and for the purpose specified.

EMILE BEBLINER.
